Not only has his diligence on the cushion given him the clarity of perception to pick apart micro-phenomenological details in his experience and others\u2019; but his time in academia studying philosophy, cognitive science and predictive processing has also given him the intellectual frameworks with which to understand a grander vision of the mind and the project of meditation. This makes him quite a unique figure in that he is both an accomplished meditator (having gone significant distance along the enlightenment path), whilst also being directly connected to cutting edge researchers of cognitive science.<\/p><p>I see Shawn able to give great technical and practical advice to other meditators, leaving them with a framework and mapping that helps them make sense of their experience and where they are at, and instructions for how to proceed in their practice. Normally, you either get someone who knows the theory well, or someone who doesn\u2019t know the theory but has experiential insight into deeper facets of consciousness.
